Williamsburg

I am honored to be asked to teach a class for Quiltmaker magazine in Williamsburg, Va on August 2-4, 2012! 

The class that I am teaching is the following:

Red Rover - Playing with Design

Taught by Monique Dillard

Thursday August 2 - Saturday August 4, 2012; 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Learn how you can get multiple designs using just one block. First, create one block using simple pieces, half-square tri­angles. Then, by rotating the pieces in the block and the block itself, you can see what a different and surprising outcome you will get. Make one of 6 different quilts or come up with one of your own! Not only will there be instructions for 6 different tops quilts given, in class Monique will also provide fabric require­ments and instructions for making larger sizes.
Skill level: All skill levels

Woo hoo! Congratulations Monique! I am so happy for you. And how lucky are all the participants in your class going to be. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places on earth. How fabulous to be able to teach there. While you are there, be sure to check out the sterling silver charms that many of the shops sell. It is a perfect opportunity to start a charm bracelet to remember your trip!

Happy Friday!  Today is my day to join in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour .  Yes, that means that I have a block included in the magazine!  The tour has been going on all week so make sure that you check out the other designers that are involved in the tour.   Here is the cover of the magazine: It's so great that they have printed 7 - 100 Block Magazines!  I am also so proud to say that I have been in all 7 issues!  My block is called Tiara...do you sense a theme these days?  I have a book coming up next week (squee!) called Diamond Traditions and I called this block Tiara...do you think I'm a princess?!  My husband sure thinks so!  Anyway, here is my block: I used the purple colorway of my fabric with Maywood Studio, Royal Gardens .  I love the way this block has a center that you can fussy-cut or use an interested print inside.  It was fun to make and there are so many possibilities to make a quilt with it....
